I also didn't have a ton of experience, oil changes, brake work, new tail lights and a cold air intake for my DD.
If there's a willingness to learn, and your not afraid to ask questions here you can get it done.
There are people here that never painted a car, and did theirs with great success.
I didn't because I was afraid to screw it up(and because I don't have the patience probably )
If your dad is nearby to help I think it would be a great experience, wish I could've done it but he past before I had the chance.
That was also one of the reasons I started building my dream when I was 40 and not wait till I was retired.
Granted it took longer then I anticipated because life threw a few curveballs along the way, but I'll be pretty stoked with the end result.

DO IT!!!!
